Visiting New York City from Saint Kitts and Nevis?

We're Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based right here in Brooklyn, New York City. We were founded in March 2024 by Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas, partners for 25 years. From day one, our mission has been to bring small-batch, premium cannabis products to New Yorkers and, increasingly, to the incredible visitors who travel from all over the world to experience this city. If you're coming to NYC from Saint Kitts and Nevis, we want to be your first stop on understanding the legal cannabis landscape here — and why our products are worth seeking out.

New York City is electric. It's layered, loud, beautiful, and endlessly surprising. For adult visitors from the Caribbean who've been curious about legally purchasing cannabis or premium hash during a trip to the States, there's never been a better time to visit New York. We're going to walk you through everything you need to know — from the legal facts to the best neighborhoods to explore, the products we're most proud of, and the practical tips that'll make your experience smooth, legal, and genuinely enjoyable.

New York State legalized adult-use cannabis in March 2021 under the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA). This means that any adult aged 21 or older — regardless of whether you're a New York resident or a visitor from another country — can legally purchase cannabis from a licensed adult-use dispensary in the state. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen. You do not need a medical card. You just need to be 21 or older and have a valid government-issued photo ID. If you're visiting from Saint Kitts and Nevis, your passport is the perfect form of identification and will be accepted at every licensed dispensary.

What You're Legally Allowed to Do

As an adult visitor aged 21 and over, you can legally purchase cannabis products from licensed dispensaries, possess up to three ounces of cannabis flower (or equivalent in other forms) in public, and consume in private spaces where the property owner permits it. That's it — simple, clean, and legal.

What You Cannot Do in New York

There are important rules to follow. Cannabis consumption is not permitted in public spaces — that includes sidewalks, parks, subways, or anywhere cigarette smoking is banned. You cannot consume in your hotel room without the explicit permission of your accommodation. And please, never get behind the wheel after consuming cannabis. Do not attempt to bring cannabis or cannabis products back with you when you leave New York or depart from any U.S. airport — taking cannabis across state or international borders is a federal offense, regardless of local legality. Your trip home is not the time to test that.

We want to be straightforward with you, because we respect our visitors. Cannabis laws in Saint Kitts and Nevis differ significantly from what you'll experience here in New York City. In Saint Kitts and Nevis, cannabis remains a controlled substance, and possession, use, or trafficking carries serious legal consequences under national law. While there have been ongoing regional conversations across the Caribbean about cannabis reform and decriminalization, as of our knowledge date, recreational adult-use cannabis is not legal in Saint Kitts and Nevis.

This means that what you experience legally in New York City stays in New York City. Enjoy it here, responsibly, as the law permits. When you board your return flight, leave any purchased cannabis products behind — disposed of safely or gifted to a legal adult in New York who is 21 or older. Do not attempt to travel with cannabis through any airport, including JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark. The experience of legal cannabis is a New York City experience, and we want it to be a positive one for you.

We launched Silly Nice in March 2024, and since then we've grown to be available in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries across the state. That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident — it happens because we put the product first, every single time. Every item in our lineup is independently lab-tested, small-batch crafted, and sustainably packaged. We're a Brooklyn brand through and through, and we bring the same pride and precision to cannabis that this city brings to everything it does.

As a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run business, we've built Silly Nice with the understanding that cannabis culture should be inclusive, transparent, and community-driven. When you purchase one of our products, you're not just buying cannabis — you're supporting a Brooklyn family business that cares deeply about quality, honesty, and the people it serves.

Our Hash Products — A Must-Try for Caribbean Visitors Who Appreciate Quality

Hash has deep roots in global cannabis culture, and we've put serious craft into ours. If you're visiting from Saint Kitts and Nevis and you want to experience something genuinely premium during your time in NYC, we'd love for you to try our Frosted Hash Ball or our Bubble Hash — two of our most celebrated products.

Our Frosted Hash Ball is a 1-gram sphere of pure artisan craftsmanship. It comes in at 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and a remarkable 5.7% terpene content — meaning the flavor and aroma profile is rich, complex, and deeply satisfying. It retails for $50 and is one of our most talked-about products. It's designed for those who want something refined, something that honors the tradition of hash while pushing it forward.

Our Bubble Hash — also 1 gram and priced at just $44 — is made using a solventless water-extraction process that preserves the natural terpenes and cannabinoids of the plant beautifully. At 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and a terpene content of 6.2%, this is a full-spectrum, clean, and expressive hash experience. If you've ever wanted to taste cannabis the way it was meant to taste — without the interference of solvents or additives — Bubble Hash is your introduction.

Beyond our hash offerings, we've built a complete lineup for every kind of adult cannabis consumer. Here's a look at what you'll find on our menu when you walk into a dispensary carrying Silly Nice products.

One of the best things about Silly Nice being available in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide is that no matter where you're staying in the city, there's likely a location near you carrying our products. Here's a general neighborhood guide to help you navigate.

Manhattan

Manhattan is home to a growing number of licensed adult-use dispensaries, with concentrations in neighborhoods like Midtown, the Lower East Side, Harlem, and the Village. If you're staying in a hotel in Midtown or along the East Side, you're very likely within walking distance of a licensed dispensary carrying Silly Nice. Use our store locator at sillynice.com/store-locator to find the closest one to your hotel or Airbnb.

Brooklyn

Brooklyn is our home — and it's one of the most vibrant cannabis markets in the entire state. From Williamsburg and Bushwick to Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn dispensaries have been some of our strongest supporters since launch. If you're spending time in Brooklyn, which we highly recommend, you'll find Silly Nice on shelves in some of the borough's most respected licensed shops. Brooklyn dispensaries tend to have knowledgeable staff, community-centered vibes, and excellent product selections. It's the perfect borough to explore while you're discovering what legal cannabis in New York really looks like.

Queens

Queens is one of the most culturally diverse boroughs in the world, and its cannabis retail scene reflects that diversity. Neighborhoods like Jackson Heights, Astoria, Jamaica, and Flushing have seen licensed dispensaries open their doors, and our distribution in Queens continues to grow. If you're flying in through JFK or exploring Queens during your visit, check our store locator to find licensed shops in the area carrying Silly Nice.

We want your dispensary visit to be completely smooth. Here's what we recommend for visitors from Saint Kitts and Nevis stepping into a New York City cannabis dispensary for the first time.

Bring Your Passport

Every licensed dispensary in New York is required by law to verify that customers are 21 years of age or older before any sale. Your Saint Kitts and Nevis passport is a fully valid, government-issued photo ID and will be accepted without question at any licensed dispensary. Carry it with you every time you plan to visit a shop — no ID means no purchase, no exceptions.

Cash Is Always Welcome

Because cannabis remains a federally controlled substance in the United States, many cannabis businesses operate with limited banking access. This means that while some dispensaries do accept debit card payments, cash is king at most locations. We recommend stopping at an ATM before you head to the dispensary, and many shops actually have ATMs on-site as well. Always ask the budtender about payment options when you arrive.

Only Buy from Licensed, Legal Dispensaries

New York City still has an illegal, unlicensed market operating alongside the legal one. Only purchase cannabis from state-licensed adult-use dispensaries. Licensed shops will have their CAURD or retail dispensary license prominently displayed, will require ID verification, and will provide lab-tested, properly labeled products like ours. If someone on the street is selling cannabis or you walk into a shop that doesn't check your ID, that's a red flag. Stick to licensed retailers — it protects you legally and ensures you're getting safe, tested products.

Consume Responsibly and Privately

Once you've made your purchase, consume in private. Your hotel room (with permission from the property), a private residence, or a designated cannabis consumption lounge are appropriate settings. Do not consume in public parks, on streets, in taxis or ride-shares, or in any space where tobacco smoking is prohibited. Always be a respectful visitor, and the experience will be a positive one.

From Brooklyn to the Federation — we see you, we welcome you, and we're genuinely honored that you're here. New York City has always been a place where the world shows up, and we've built Silly Nice with exactly that spirit in mind. This brand was built by people who believe in showing up fully, doing things right, and sharing something real with the community around them. Shane and LeVar started Silly Nice as a family mission, and every single product we put on shelves — every Frosted Hash Ball, every gram of Bubble Hash, every vape cartridge and concentrate — carries that intention.

If you're visiting New York City from Saint Kitts and Nevis and you want to experience legal cannabis done right, we hope you'll find us. We're in 150+ licensed dispensaries across New York State, and our store locator will get you to the nearest one in seconds. Bring your passport, bring your curiosity, and come find what we've been building. This city has a lot to offer — and we're proud to be one small, meaningful piece of it.

Explore New York. Explore Brooklyn. Find Silly Nice at a licensed dispensary near you — and experience cannabis the way it was meant to be: clean, crafted, and completely legal. We'll see you at the counter.
